Embers Ad Infinitum

After listening to Han Wanghuo's words, Shang Jianyao actually said "agree" on his face:

"After I found out that that person was an awakened person in the 'Si Ming' field, I was worried about your heart."

The awakened person in the "Si Ming" field... Han Wanghuo once served as the Sheriff of Hongshiji and the captain of the town guard. He had dealt with the Vigilance Church and faced the fish-man god. He had no lack of understanding of similar things, but Zeng Duo Different, she only knew about the Zhi Sui and the Awakened ones, had encountered certain sects, and was not clear about the division of fields and more details.

At this time, listening to Shang Jianyao's description, she suddenly felt that the two parties were not in the same world.

Jiang Baimian did not bother to "condemn" Shang Jianyao for his honesty, and comforted Han Wanghuo:

"This can only be confirmed after detailed inspection. Personal feelings cannot replace the instrument, and there are often large errors."

"Then where to check?" Han Wanghuo asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that his tone was a bit harsh and subconsciously said:

"I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood."

"I understand." Shang Jianyao looked sympathetic.

Jiang Baimian also said it didn't matter.

She tried to ask herself in her mind:

When you are terminally ill and your time is running out, you have finally found a cure, you have seen the light, and you are about to fight for it, when a group of people claiming to be your friends suddenly come and disrupt all your arrangements. Are you angry that everything is no longer so certain?

Jiang Baimian’s answer to this is:

Even if the other party has no malicious intent and the damage caused is purely accidental, I will be very angry.

In that case, reason is often ineffective.

She temporarily avoided the topic of where to go for a physical check-up, and asked thoughtfully:

"So, you have actually found a suitable heart and are waiting to complete a task and raise enough money in exchange?"

"That's almost it." Han Wanghuo deliberately didn't look at Zeng Duo.

"What kind of mission is it?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

At this time, Zeng Duo got out of bed and moved his body:

"Actually, that mission is to save my hometown, and the reward is my heart."

She could see that this group of people had good intentions towards Han Wanghuo and felt that it was necessary to make the problem clear. Otherwise, with the current situation, she and Han Wanghuo would not be able to organize enough manpower to rescue Chuchun Town. Whether he can leave the city or not is still a question.

Ah... Long Yuehong didn't expect that Shang Jianyao's previous guess was right.

Han Wanghuo really brought the organ provider with him!

He, doesn't he respond? Long Yuehong thought about it and believed that no normal person would do this if there was no other way.

Perhaps because he felt that Zeng Duo was similar to himself in some aspects, Bai Chen took the initiative and asked:

"You choose to sacrifice yourself for your hometown?"

"It's not considered a sacrifice." Zeng Duo smiled, "It's considered a waste."

She further explained:

"I also have a terminal illness, and these organs will be useless by then."

"What's the disease?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Zeng Duo didn’t need to think about it and said directly:

"I don't know exactly what the blood disease caused by the aberration is. The doctor at the clinic used a bunch of terms that I didn't understand."

That may not be a terminal illness... It is necessary to conduct a detailed examination... Jiang Baimian did not say these two sentences.

This would make it appear that she was trying to undermine Han Wanghuo and block his way to save himself.

She decided to remain silent on the matter until she came up with a practical new solution.

Although she sympathized a little with Zeng Duo, there was no previous friendship between the two parties, so that kind of pity would not affect her behavioral choices.

"That's it..." Shang Jianyao nodded gently and assumed Jiang Baimian's old posture, "What happened to your hometown? Why do you need to save it?"

Zeng Duo briefly told the story of Chuchun Town becoming the "Primary City" experimental area.

As Long Yuehong and others listened, their expressions became a little strange:

Isn’t it standard for your company to do biochemical experiments and genetic research?

This is one of the reasons why "Pangaea" has a bad reputation.

But now, "First City" has actually started to do similar things, and it is still a forced purchase and sale, involuntary behavior.

Was this the wrong script?

Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Baimian felt that this was completely understandable. Any big force has a natural desire to improve its own shortcomings. As long as an opportunity arises, they will never let it go!

But the style of "The Last City" is too rough, right? According to this lady, there are countless people in "Early Spring Town" with physical deformities, and their daily lives are miserable. If you hold the banner of a free clinic or directly explain that you are conducting genetic screening experiments, but you will also develop treatments, you can collect a lot of people. There is no need to be so rigid and high-pressure to batch fully cooperate volunteers... Are your people really worthless? Jiang Baimian couldn't help but curse a few words.

In her opinion, the "prime city" method is far less efficient than the "Pangu Creature" approach, which means that it relies on its large population to station troops everywhere to maintain its existence.

"Uh, what do you call her?" Jiang Baimian then remembered that he didn't ask the lady's name.

Zeng Duo briefly reported his name.

Jiang Baimian continued:

"Judging from your description, the experimental confidentiality level of the 'First City' in your town should be quite high, and the security force must be very strong."

Speaking of this, she looked at Han Wanghuo and said:

"Old Han, it seems that your organization's manpower cannot be counted on."

After what happened today, how could those relic hunters dare to cooperate with Han Wanghuo? If they didn't betray him, it would be considered a noble character.

"I haven't received the weapons I ordered yet." Han Wanghuo breathed out uncontrollably.

The only thing he was lucky about was that the collaborator he was looking for didn't know the specific task yet, so it wouldn't affect Chuchun Town.

Hearing Han Wanghuo's sigh, Shang Jianyao smiled.

Before he spoke, Jiang Baimian had already said:

"We have a responsibility in this matter. Let's do this. We will be your helpers. We will do voluntary labor. Well, it does not count as voluntary labor. We must be given a copy of the information or samples in the laboratory in Chuchun Town."

The reason why she added the last sentence was not because she was a big villain "Pangu Creature" as a professional habit, but because she was worried that Han Wanghuo, an awkward guy, would not want to take advantage and would not agree.

Thinking that he could not find any other help in a short period of time, Han Wanghuo was silent for a few seconds and said:

"good."

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"You don't have to worry about weapons. We have quite a few, and they also come with a big killer weapon."

While she was speaking, Shang Jianyao turned his body sideways and got out of the way.

Zeng Duo and Han Wanghuo then saw Gnawa charging by the wall.

Robot... Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo were both surprised and then happy.

On the dusty soil, a robot with complete modules is indeed a killer!

When the surprise subsided a little, Han Wanghuo couldn't help but ask again:

"Why on earth are you being hunted by the 'Hand of Order'?"

This team seems to cause a lot of trouble wherever they go.

Back at Hongshiji, they punched the arms dealers and kicked the coalition forces without a moment's leisure.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while:

"I don't know how to tell you, so let's go straight to the bounty missions released by the 'Hand of Order'.

"Lao Ge, project it for them."

Gnawa immediately changed his "identity" and projected the previously recorded information onto the wall.

Such a high-tech method has only been seen by Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo in a few places such as the Hunter Guild.

They calmed down and read the corresponding content.

"Participating in the assassination case in the arena and planning a big conspiracy against the 'Primary City'..." After just reading the previous part of the description, Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo felt their eyelids jump.

Who is this helping?

Although Han Wanghuo could tell that Xue Shiyue's team should come from some big force, he never thought that they would directly confront the "First City".

Jiang Baimian coughed immediately:

"Slander, this is all their slander, we just stole some information."

"Yes, they are too narrow-minded." Shang Jianyao agreed.

Han Wanghuo nodded and recalled:

"I remember the previous assassination case in the Arena. The 'Hand of Order' didn't make such a big fuss at that time..."

As he talked, he couldn't talk any more.

According to this logic, what Xue Shiyue's team did was much more serious than assassinating nobles in the arena, otherwise they would not have received the "treatment" they are receiving now!

As his body tensed up, Zeng Duo had already seen the reward amount.

"Ten thousand Ore per person?" The relic hunter from a distorted town blurted out in shock.

The area of ​​her activities is mainly within the sphere of influence of the "First City", and the tasks she usually takes can often be converted into Orei. But in all these years, she has never seen anything with such a generous bounty and only involving a few humans!

Although the bounty does not necessarily represent the danger level of the target, the number of 10,000 Orei still makes Zeng Duo feel that everyone here is quite scary, similar to the characters used in various stories about Huitu to scare children and stop them from crying. .

For an ordinary relic hunter like her, ten thousand Orei is more than enough to buy her life.

What are their origins? Zeng Duo closed his mouth tightly and glanced over the faces of Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others.

"That's probably what happened." Jiang Baimian ended the topic vaguely.

Then, she frowned slightly and said:

"In this situation, even if Zeng Duo's mission is completed, there will still be no place for organ transplantation."

This is not a minor operation and requires a lot of medical equipment, otherwise the mortality rate will be extremely high.

Han Wanghuo was silent for a while and said:

"The doctors at the black clinic on Antana Street are desperate for money and their lives."

"Well, we'll see then." Jiang Baimian couldn't find any other way for a while.

Although she could rush into battle and ask the real "doctor" Gnawa to download the corresponding information and try to complete such an operation, the "Old Adjustment Team" did not have the corresponding medical equipment to cooperate.

Jiang Baimian immediately exhaled:

"These are all subsequent troubles. The most important question now is:

"How do we leave the First City?"
