long night fire

"It should be the kind that four or five people can destroy a settlement. Maybe all of them have reached the level of 'senior hunters', not much worse than those incredibly powerful relic hunter teams we know."

Having said that, Huo Zhi let out a sigh of relief:

"Fortunately, a team of this level will definitely not look down on our things. There are only a few dozen slaves. Even if Mr. DiMarco offers a high price, they will not be able to exchange for the materials they are interested in.

"They should be aware of the movement, and come over habitually to take a look to confirm the situation."

Ah Qiang was persuaded by the boss, and asked worriedly:

"Then let everyone come out to lecture tomorrow morning?"

"No need." Huo Zhi shook his head without hesitation, "I'll go into their room and talk to them one by one, absolutely not disturbing the other side."

When he said these few words, his voice unconsciously lowered a little.

Seeing that Ah Qiang seemed a little worried, Huo Zhi smiled and said:

"A team of this level can still deal with us for dozens of slaves?

"What are their identities, and will they be short of slaves?"

Ah Qiang said "hmm":

"I'll make arrangements for night patrols."

……

In the middle of the night, Jiang Baimian woke up in a daze, turned over and grabbed the water bag on the bedside table.

At this moment, she saw a figure sitting quietly on the opposite bed.

Jiang Baimian woke up instantly.

She took a closer look and found that it was indeed Shang Jianyao.

"Staying up so late?" Jiang Baimian asked in amazement and amused.

Shang Jianyao supported the bed with both hands, and turned his body around abruptly.

In the faint moonlight shining through the window, he replied with piercing eyes:

"I'm thinking of a feasible solution."

"Really serious..." Jiang Baimian didn't know how to evaluate it, so he just said something casually.

She turned to ask:

"Have any ideas?"

Shang Jian Yao shook his head:

"not yet."

"Oh..." Jiang Baimian felt relieved.

Before her voice fell, Shang Jianyao added:

"There's so much inspiration."

"..." The smile on Jiang Baimian's face became a little forced.

Shang Jianyao continued on his own:

"I'm now considering this matter together with breaking through the third island.

"Didn't it mean that I was afraid that I would give everything and still not be able to change anything? Then do a difficult thing in reality, and strive to change some unsightly cruel states.

"Saving all mankind must of course start with saving small groups of people, starting with small changes."

"At that time, I hope to have some gains, which can be fed back to the spiritual world."

After Jiang Baimian listened quietly, he hugged the quilt and adjusted his posture so that he could lie down more comfortably.

"This idea...is really good." She said realistically, "The key to defeating the third island may really be to link with reality, and through the affirmation of reality, break the inner doubts."

Speaking of which, she changed her words:

"However, there is no need to choose such a difficult thing from the beginning, right?"

Shang Jian Yao laughed, his face was hazy under the moonlight:

"I didn't consider a feasible solution just to defeat the third island.

"It's just incidental."

At this moment, Jiang Baimian inexplicably felt that his smile was like a child's, very clean and pure.

Jiang Baimian opened his mouth, closed it again, and complained after a long time:

"You can wait until dawn to think about it. In the middle of the night, go to sleep and sleep fast. Only when you have enough energy can you come up with a good solution."

She originally wanted to take a pillow and throw it over, hit Shang Jianyao to increase the strength of her words, but considering that there was only one pillow, she gave up this idea.

"En." Shang Jian Yao thought for a while, then nodded.

Snapped!

He fell straight down, stretching his legs.

Jiang Baimian wrapped the quilt tightly, and changed his posture with his back facing the opposite bed.

In the quiet night, she suddenly whispered:

"Sometimes, I really envy your purity..."

Shang Jian Yao replied in a serious tone:

"This is in exchange for a doctor's certificate."

"..." Jiang Baimian chose to close his eyes.

……

The next morning, the "Old Tune Team" simply had breakfast, and then drove a Jeep to the underground shopping mall in the park under the watchful eye of the townspeople from Hongshi who were repairing the faulty circuit in the hotel camp.

This was their original plan to visit "Visa Trading Company" to discuss high-performance batteries.

The person on duty in the "Visa Trading Company" is still the lady who wears a green ghost mask but is as timid as a rabbit.

"Come on, come on, good morning." Obviously, this lady recognized the former Redstone Jiyiba.

Jiang Baimian asked with a smile:

"Which housekeeper is here today?"

"Housekeeper Ulrich." The lady in charge of the reception replied honestly.

My lord... Jiang Baimian secretly felt that he was lucky, and at the same time pressed the delicate monk mask on his face:

"Please let me know that we would like to visit Mr. Ulrich."

"Okay." The lady hurriedly took out the walkie-talkie, avoiding Shang Jianyao and the others, talking to someone.

Gnava, wearing sunglasses, looked at her figure which was mostly covered by the wall, and asked Jiang Baimian and others:

"Should I repeat their conversation?"

"Can you hear?" Shang saw Yao curiously.

Too bad it's all covered up by the monkey mask.

Gnava nodded:

"This distance, this volume, is within my listening range."

Jiang Baimian felt funny that the average listening ability of the "Old Tune Group" had been significantly improved, and asked thoughtfully:

"Do you usually take the initiative to monitor the surrounding environment?"

"Not in a safe environment, but when performing tasks or in similar scenarios." Gnawa replied in a concise language, "The main reason for not turning it on is to save power and protect the battery. The battery life and life of the high-performance battery The cycle is still one of the key factors restricting the number of our intelligent people and the development of society. Therefore, "Source Brain" has been looking for the old world's "nuclear power miniaturization technology", "ultra-high performance battery technology", and "controllable nuclear fusion". Research' data in the hope of turning these into reality."

As expected of an intelligent person, he can repeat almost verbatim what I heard at the time... Having a large database and advanced search algorithms is amazing... Long Yuehong admires Gnava's "memory".

At this time, the lady in charge of the reception of "Visa Trading Company" came back, trembling as if she was facing a natural enemy nemesis, and said:

"Butler Ulrich invites you to the conference room."

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others followed the guidance and found a conference room, where a long table, a dozen chairs and an LCD screen were arranged.

The lady in charge of the reception turned on the LCD screen, and after adjusting the status, she exited the room and closed the door.

Gnava then said:

"This is a product of our 'Mechanical Paradise'..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Shang Jianyao put his index finger up to his mouth, and made a sound of "shh".

Gnava immediately interrupted his speaking.

Two or three seconds later, a serious man in his forties wearing a black dress and black tie appeared on the LCD screen.

He was one of DiMarco's stewards, Ulrich.

"Mr. Butler, aren't you in the company?" Jiang Baimian asked amusedly.

Ulrich calmly replied:

"There are awakened ones among you, and they are very aggressive."

When Shang Jianyao restrained DiMarco's guards, he exposed the "lack of movement of both hands".

As for aggressiveness, it undoubtedly refers to Shang Jianyao's frightening behavior of throwing a grenade.

Having said that, Ulrich clasped his hands and put them on his chest, then he took a step back:

"Distance is our friend."

Chapter 182 "Social Engineering"

This familiar "distance is our friend" made Jiang Baimian and others suddenly have a feeling of really returning to Hongshiji.

This is an enclave where everyone believes in a sect of vigilance, and everyone is hyper-vigilant, always emphasizing hiding themselves and keeping their distance.

——The few people that the "Old Tune Group" met yesterday either had no dialogue at all, only weak interaction, or because of the prestige of Hongshi Jiyi, their posture was very low, which failed to reflect the local characteristics and religious practices.

While thinking, Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao, feeling a little gloating.

She means:

Look, in order to vent your anger, you leaked the secret, and let people know that you are an awakened person. With enough precautions, now you can't get closer, relying on the "reasoning clown" to make key friends and sneak into the "underground ark" Bar.

That is to say, at least one-third of the "feasible plan" that Shang Jianyao is drawing up has been blocked, and this third is still the part with a relatively higher success rate.

This is a good thing for Jiang Baimian, who is swaying in his heart and prefers not to care about other things.

She smiled and responded to Butler Ulrich:

"I can understand your wariness."

After what happened last time, you didn't directly reject us, which is considered very polite.

Butler Ulrich obviously had no intention of greeting, and asked:

"What's the matter with you?"

Jiang Baimian pointed to Gnava wearing sunglasses:

"As you can see, we recently got a robot, and the reserve of high-performance batteries is relatively insufficient. I want to trade a batch from you."

When she was talking, Shang Jianyao looked at Gnava, and said in the tone of an ordinary robot:

"Come on, play a song for Mr. Butler."

Gnava analyzed it and felt that it was a need for camouflage, so he started the loaded playback module, and the surround sound was emitted from the "mouth":

"Only..." (Note 1)

He only sang a single word before being stopped by Jiang Baimian:

"No, Mr. Butler can understand."

Ulrich had a certain understanding of this relic team, ignored the episode, and said with no change in expression:

"It's still winter, and the goods reserved at the end of the year have already been sent out, and the smugglers from the 'Future Smart' side may not come in a month or two."

What he meant was that "Visa Trading Company" didn't have any stock right now, and it would take a long time to wait for new smuggled batteries to arrive.
