Embers Ad Infinitum

The next morning, Shang Jianyao shared what happened in the dream with other members of the "Old Tune Group".

"Where does Xiao Chong live?" Jiang Baimian was quite surprised.

That street belongs to the Red Wolf District, close to the Golden Apple District, and far away from the Green Olive District.

This is inconsistent with Jiang Baimian's previous speculations.

Of course, the premise of her speculations is that the "unintentional disease" outbreak in Qingliu District is related to Xiao Chong, but this is just a hypothesis.

"Maybe they moved there recently." Bai Chen gave another possibility.

Jiang Baimian nodded gently:

"we'll talk about it then."

She then smiled and said:

"We have completed one of our three major missions to the mountains on the north coast this time, and one of the remaining two has already seen hope of success."

What she means is that the task of finding out the whereabouts of Xiao Chong by finding the Nightmare Horse has been completed. The task of catching the White Wolf and paying off the debt has been completed. Although the previous part, that is, the capture of the White Wolf has not been completed, Wasteland 13 The "rich mine" of the ruins allowed them to quickly accumulate a lot of valuable materials and books. If they go to explore it again, there should be no problem. At most, they can fill in part of the funds approved by the company, and since they can pay back their debts, Debt, it doesn't matter whether the white wolf can be caught or not.

Anyway, even if they fail to complete this kind of hunter mission with no limit on the number of people and no mandatory restrictions, it will not affect their credibility.

The only mission that has little hope is to find Felinton, the relic hunter who knows about the Mirror Sect.

And this can be merged into the third exploration of the ruins of Wasteland 13, because Felinton may have mistakenly entered the ruins of the city.

In short, if everything goes well and explore there again, the "Old Tune Team" can return to the Prime City and catch up with the subsequent gladiatorial competition.

In the evening, "Pangu Creature" responded with a telegram:

“The current plan is very stable, but you just need to pay attention to one thing:

"Don't go within one kilometer of that radio station..."

"One kilometer?" Jiang Baimian couldn't help complaining, "Is the company really trying to squeeze out toothpaste? After we explored it once, they squeezed out some new information."

At this time, Gnawa found a contradiction:

"If it is enough not to enter the one kilometer radius of the 'Dao and Electrical Maintenance' radio station, then the regular army of the 'Prime City' will not just stay outside and not explore the remains of Wasteland 13."

"Maybe we just didn't explore the area we went to." Bai Chen helped think about the reason.

At this time, Jiang Baimian breathed out and said:

"I haven't finished translating yet."

"..." Bai Chen was a little embarrassed.

This made Long Yuehong almost laugh, but luckily he held it back, and Shang Jianyao didn't applaud for it.

Jiang Baimian continued to translate:

"And don't go beyond the areas set out in the exploration plan."

After reading, she smiled:

"so……"

The answer is obvious. There are other dangers elsewhere in the ruins of Wasteland 13.

…………

The next day, at the same time, two teams of eight humans came to the opposite metal gate again.

Looking at the overgrown park outside, Jiang Baimian considered for a moment and said:

"Everyone should be aware of other precautions. I will only emphasize one point now:

"No matter what the harvest is, no matter whether there is still a target area that has not been explored, once you stay in the ruins for more than an hour and a half, you must go back.

"I think everyone doesn't want to commit suicide in various ways for no apparent reason like those ruin hunters brought here by the white wolf, right?"

The reason for setting one and a half hours is because the total time they stayed during the last exploration was one and a half hours, which was not affected at all. Therefore, it can be extended appropriately and the cost of return is also calculated.

"Okay." Waite responded immediately, as if Jiang Baimian was the leader of their hunter team, not Wang Fugui.

Gray, Fars and Wang Fugui looked at each other and said that this was exactly what they thought.

The "old tune team" has naturally discussed this issue long ago and there is no objection.

The two teams exited the metal gate one after another and entered the park.

This time, they changed directions again.

Jiang Baimian and others did not neglect to check the surrounding environment to look for possible traces of human activities.

And there is a small chance that this belongs to the target hunter, Felinton.

They were fully armed and walking, but Jiang Baimian, who had the best eyesight, paused.

She pointed her gun at the side:

"Someone should have walked by there."

Following her gaze, Shang Jianyao and others saw the fallen weeds.

This goes straight forward, forming a "road".

However, due to the hot summer and the lack of rain recently, the soil was relatively dry, so there were no obvious footprints on the "road".

"I don't know when he left it...but it won't be long." Bai Chen made a judgment based on experience.

Jiang Baimian nodded and looked at Wang Fugui and others:

"Follow up and take a look?

"Anyway, the direction coincides with our target area."

At the same time, she secretly prayed in her heart:

Hopefully it’s Felinton.

Wang Fugui and others are willing to respect the choice of the "old tune group".

The two teams changed their direction slightly and followed the fallen weeds step by step out of the park and onto the street.

The fallen leaves here are silted and rotten, and some places are sheltered from direct sunlight. Therefore, the roads on both sides are not so dry and cracked, and even look soft.

This allowed Jiang Baimian and the others to find some footprints.

"The sole pattern is ordinary...he is about 1.7 meters tall...underweight...the traces should have been left today..." Jiang Baimian compared multiple sets of footprints and gave a preliminary judgment after simple calculations. .

She was slightly disappointed with this.

This shouldn't be Felinton.

"I just left it today..." Wang Fugui frowned slightly and said, "Does anyone else know that the cave leads here? I have warned Long En and Harrison not to leak it. Normally, before we leave, , they don’t dare to sell this information.”

Ron was the previous guide of the "Old Tune Group", and Harrison was a member of the lone hunter group.

"Go over and take a look." Shang Jianyao enthusiastically suggested.

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yuehong pointed to a place not too far away and said:

"There's smoke there."

Others looked over one after another and saw somewhere ahead, blocked by several buildings, a bluish-gray smoke rising. It was not thick, but rather thin.

"It's about one kilometer away from here." Jiang Baimian gave a rough judgment.

"Is it spontaneous combustion caused by the weather being too hot and the air being too dry?" Gray, the lone hunter, guessed.

The temperature had been quite high these past two days, and he felt very comfortable. Although he was still wrapped in leather clothes, he no longer shivered.

"Maybe it was the person who came in today." Bai Chen looked at the footprints on the roadside.

"Go over and take a look." Shang Jianyao encouraged everyone again.

No one objected.

For them, going there to take a look does not affect their collection of supplies. There are many things along the way.

While collecting and moving forward, they turned into another street and bypassed the buildings, and their eyes suddenly brightened.

Ahead is a small square with a pool.

In the middle of the square stands a slender obelisk with a cross on the top.

This is one of the more common old world things in the Red River Valley.

Next to the obelisk, there was a large handful of thick incense sticks standing on the railing of the pool. They were responsible for the bluish-gray smoke.

Facing these incense sticks is a woman wearing a gray-blue robe.

She is blonde and very beautiful.

"Taoist Master Jialolan!" Shang Jianyao shouted, feeling as excited as meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

That woman was Gallolan, the Taoist priest of the "Eternal Years" sect that the "Old Tune Team" encountered in the Black Swamp Wilderness.

She is from Honghe and comes from a noble family in the "Primary City".

Gallolan did not respond immediately and bowed slowly in a certain direction.

Then, she turned around calmly and looked at Shang Jianyao and others.

A slight smile immediately appeared on her face, she hugged her right hand with her left hand and raised it to her eyebrows.

Bending deeply, she spoke:

"Infinite Blessings, Heavenly Lord, we meet again, this is fate, this is where the Tao lies."

When reciting the name, she used Hui Tu dialect, but because there were people from Honghe around, she switched to Honghe dialect later.

Seeing that Wang Fugui and others were in a daze, Jiang Baimian stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Taoist Priest, why are you here?"

Gallolan turned his body sideways and looked somewhere, not feeling the need to hide anything and said:

"My master's master, a former heavenly master, helped seal a powerful monster in the "Primordial City" here.

“He sacrificed himself for this.

"Every time I pass by, I come in and pay homage to him."

Uh... Jia Luolan said so clearly, but Long Yuehong had a ridiculous feeling.

That is caused by the destruction of the painting style!

This is just like how Zhou Yue, the master of Nanke Guan, used talisman water and Bagua mirror to deal with "high-level unintentional people".

The essence of the latter matter is the price paid by the awakened ones.

When Jiang Baimian heard this, he moved his eyebrows and asked thoughtfully:

"Wu Meng?"

PS: Ask for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month~

PS2: Recommend a book, Toad’s new book, "Fairy Fox". This name always reminds me of fairy gourds, but the actual content is different: I am Hu Huan, an old fox who is seven or eight hundred years old. I have watched the French behead the queen, participated in the European revolution, worked as a pirate in the Age of Discovery, and started the age of steam engines. Worked in factories, funded some of the most accomplished artists of the 18th century, and now...

This is rare. Toad wrote that the Eastern Fairy traveled to the West, and the queen who was beheaded, well, she was too young at that time, and she didn't know all the gifts of fate, and she had already marked the price secretly. .
