long night fire

"Yes..." After saying the first word, Long Yuehong fell silent.

Usually he said "yes, team leader", but this time he didn't know what to say "yes", so he just added Bai Chen's name to the end, as if it wasn't good enough.

Bai Chen didn't pay attention, and focused on monitoring the target area.

Long Yuehong followed and looked across, just in time to see the team leader and Shang Jianyao turning into the alley as if taking a walk after dinner.

……

"Wait next to the broken street lamp in front." On top of Jiang Baimian's head was the hat that came with the black padded jacket, with a circle of brown fur inlaid on the edge.

This seems to have the effect of making the face smaller.

Shang Jianyao kept his mouth tightly shut, did not speak indiscriminately, followed the team leader to the other side of the broken street lamp, and hid his body in the shadow.

The light from the street couldn't reach this side at all, only a little light overflowed from the buildings on both sides, making the outlines of various things appear vaguely.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao stopped talking, and looked at each side, paying attention to the pedestrians passing by.

Whenever someone gets close, they look at each other like couples on a date.

——They believe that the male and female friends who have to meet in the corner despite the cold after the lights are turned off in the "Pangaan Creature" are representative, and there must be similar people on the surface, and the more relatives like Weeds City The better the place, the more so, Bai Chen did not deny this.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was almost eight o'clock.

After another minute or two, a figure walked into the alley from the entrance of South Street.

He was wearing a navy blue cotton coat, a furry leather hat, and a black scarf. His body was slightly bent and his head was lowered, like an old man trembling in the cold wind.

When passing by Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, the old man slipped, his body swayed, and something fell on the ground.

He hurriedly squatted down, looking for the lost property by the lights of the buildings on both sides.

But Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao had already seen clearly that what the old man lost was a badge with no words on a red background.

"Is this what you dropped?" Jiang Baimian bent down, smiled and handed his nameplate with gold letters on a red background to the old man's eyes.

The old man took a look and raised his head:

"Yes."

Under the dim light, he was not old at all. He looked like he was in his thirties, his eyebrows were neither thick nor light, and his facial features were neither ugly nor handsome. He belonged to a person with no memories.

After answering, the man quickly picked up his "badge" and stood up.

After confirming that the other party was the company's intelligence personnel lurking in Wild Grass City, Jiang Baimian smiled and asked in a chatty manner:

"Have you already stepped here and observed the environment?"

The intelligence officer nodded and said casually:

"Whether it's the front and back of the clothes, the increase or decrease of the hat, the way to wear the scarf, or the walking posture, all can make you look like another person at night, but this requires a little skill."

After Jiang Baimian listened quietly, he suddenly smiled and said:

"You've been by here four times, haven't you?"

The intelligence officer looked at Jiang Baimian in astonishment.

He was not surprised at all that the lady in front of him noticed that he had been nearby, but the other party was able to tell exactly how many times in total!

Jiang Baimian smiled, looked at the opponent's feet and said:

"Remember to change to a pair of leather shoes next time."

The intelligence officer suddenly realized.

Jiang Baimian gave a "hmm" and nodded:

"Indeed, extra shoes are inconvenient to carry with you, and you can only consider getting them dirty.

"Aren't you a bit reluctant?"

In the dust, except for those self-proclaimed nobles, how can anyone be willing to take the initiative to ruin their own things?

Ordinary employees of "Panga Biology" usually live a life with relatively limited supplies, but it is better than most wilderness settlements.

"A little bit." The intelligence officer nodded truthfully.

He didn't say much, he glanced left and right and said:

"It's not convenient to communicate here, I'll take you to a place."

Jiang Baimian immediately turned his head and glanced at Shang Jianyao.

The intelligence officer noticed this scene, frowned slightly and said:

"do not trust me?"

At this time, Shang Jianyao laughed:

"Why don't you trust me?

"look:

"We are all employees of the company;

“Our families are all within the company;

"so……"

The intelligence officer's expression gradually softened:

"That's right, everyone is someone you can trust."

His attitude is obviously a little more enthusiastic:

"I have been sent to Wild Grass City for almost two years, and I will be able to go back in another year. I don't know if my daughter, haha, still recognizes me. She was only five years old when I came out."

"That's not auspicious, so don't say it." Shang Jianyao interrupted the other party.

The intelligence officer was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Shang Jianyao, only to see his sincerity.

"Yes." The intelligence officer felt the care of his friend.

Then, he pointed to the other end of the alley:

"Let's change the place, people come and go here."

Intelligence agents have instinctive precautions and high requirements for the joint location.

Because of the insurance of "reasoning clown", even if the other party was really not trustworthy before, he has become trustworthy now, so Jiang Baimian no longer hesitated, nodded slightly and said:

"it is good."

After speaking, she took out the walkie-talkie, pressed the button and said:

"It's time to evacuate."

Chapter 20 Encountering an old friend in a foreign land

It wasn't until Jiang Baimian and the others were completely out of his sight that Bai Chen put away the "Orange" rifle and left the edge of the rooftop.

In the next second, she and Long Yuehong turned their heads at the same time, looking at the South Street slave market on the other side.

Amidst the noise from the west, Bai Chen looked away and said to Long Yuehong:

"Let's go."

Long Yuehong nodded heavily, and followed Bai Chen back to the street.

Just as they were about to leave the area where the street lights were broken, they suddenly saw a dark street, in front of a certain shop, a figure bent over, sneaking around, not knowing what to do.

The man seemed to have noticed the appearance of Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, so he turned around quickly and looked over.

In the next second, "he" ran away and quickly turned into an alley next to him.

"Thief?" Long Yuehong guessed suspiciously.

Bai Chen didn't answer him, walked to the place where the figure was just now, bent down and picked up a stack of papers.

……

East Street, inside a warehouse, the outside light shines in through the glass windows, making some things barely show their own outlines.

"What's the name?" Shang Jianyao smiled and asked the intelligence officer standing at the junction of light and darkness.

"Chen Xufeng." The intelligence officer replied frankly.

Anyway, what he gave was not his alias in Wild Grass City, so don't worry about being exposed.

"Jiang Baimian, business meeting Yao." Jiang Baimian also briefly introduced himself.

Shang Jian Yao frowned slightly:

"The name sounds familiar."

Before Chen Xufeng could respond, he took the initiative to ask:

"Do you know Chen Xianyu?"

"Ah? My dad!" Chen Xufeng was rather stunned.

This really met an acquaintance!

Shang Jian Yao immediately smiled and said:

"Floor 495?"

"That's right. I'm the youngest of the old Chen family." Chen Xufeng asked with a smile, "You also live on the 495th floor?"

Shang Jianyao nodded heavily:

"I should have pinched your daughter's face."

"What?" Chen Xufeng was a little dazed.

"Meaty." Shang Jianyao expressed his feelings, "About two years ago, Grandpa Chen often took her to the 'Activity Center' to play. Later, she went to elementary school, so I haven't seen her much."

"Two years ago? Ah, at that time, I was just dispatched here, and my daughter-in-law also had to go to work. I guess the older generation would take turns taking care of her. As you all know, the company's kindergarten opened too early! "Chen Xufeng roughly figured out the cause and effect.

Then, he said "hatefully":

"How can you pinch her face? At that time, she was already a five-year-old child."

"Grandpa Chen is also busy. If we are here, we will play games with her. Whoever loses will be pinched in the face or slapped in the palm." Shang Jianyao explained seriously.

"That's it..." Chen Xufeng smiled and said, "We are ten years apart, right? Maybe I also bullied you when you were a child, and you will retaliate."

The two chatted happily, and felt more and more that each other was trustworthy and must be trusted.

Although Jiang Baimian could understand that Chen Xufeng had been away from home for two years and couldn't wait to find out about his parents' health, his wife's condition and his daughter's growth, but he also knew that the business was important now, so he interrupted the "friends" who met an old friend in a foreign land:

"Brother Chen, have you figured out the reason for the disappearance of the previous group?"

"Hey, how can you call me brother? You are the team leader of the same team, why do you have to be D6? I'm still far behind." Chen Xufeng was a little flattered.

Jiang Baimian didn't go to refute, and asked very flatteringly:

"How old are you now?"

"D5, in charge of the intelligence network here, hehe, there are not many people." Chen Xufeng sighed with a smile, "After the service period is over, after being transferred back, you should be able to upgrade to another level."

"Pangaea Biology" is quite generous to dispatched employees.

"That's not much worse than D6." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "Let's talk about business first."

"Yeah." Chen Xufeng took out a stack of documents, and said in a recalled tone, "Before the company notified me, I didn't know that there was such a group coming to Weed City. You should also know that we are two parallel lines. , no one cares about anyone."

"Yeah, if we didn't come with a mission, if we want to ask you for help, we have to send a telegram to the company first, so that the people above can give orders." Jiang Baimian nodded in agreement, "I remember the last message that the team sent to the company. A telegram said that we have arrived in Wild Grass City, hoping to find some old people who have experienced the destruction of the old world."

She suspected that the "old tune group" was an accident after coming into contact with an old man.

Chen Xufeng nodded lightly:

"When I received the company's telegram, they had been missing for more than two weeks. Many clues have been cut off, and there is no way to investigate."

"However, there are still some gains." He changed the topic, "They are a five-person group, three men and two women. With the mentality of trying, I asked someone to ask various hotels and hotels in the city to see if there were any There is no similar combination to stay in, and in the end, I really asked!"

"Can't relic hunters have three men and two women?" Shang Jianyao asked rhetorically.

Chen Xufeng laughed:

"There are definitely teams like that, and we've had more than one piece of feedback.

"But after careful comparison and elimination, I determined that the group stayed at the Miri Hotel, a pretty good one in Weed City. The time they checked in was exactly the same as the time the company received the last telegram."
