long night fire

But what does the sent team have to do with the "Old Tune Group"?

Long Yuehong was stunned for a while listening behind Bai Chen, feeling that if she and Xu Liyan were switched places, she would also be misled in that direction.

It's really a lie... If you didn't hear about the White Wolf last night, what excuse would the team leader make, no, reason?Well, we can't disclose to Xu Liyan that we are going to the First City. Although he has cooperated with the company secretly, he still hasn't left the "First City" and has inextricable connections with it... Long Yuehong scanned Xu Liyan glanced at him with a dazed expression, muttered a few words in his heart, and expressed his sympathy.

At this time, Jiang Baimian quietly grabbed the back of Shang Jianyao's clothes with his left hand, in order to imply that he should not talk nonsense and tear down his platform.

"I've heard of that mission." Xu Liyan nodded and said, "My two advisors and Zen Master Jing Nian both agree that the white wolf is very dangerous. Even if an 'advanced hunter' goes out, he will be ruined if he is not careful. Your own life, haha, with the strength of your team, this is not a big problem."

Jiang Baimian didn't want to continue this topic, so he pulled Shang Jianyao for a while, implying that he used unconstrained thinking to change the topic to another direction.

Shang Jian Yao asked a question he had before:

"Which Zen master is speaking now?

"Why do I feel that the mechanical monks all look the same and wear similar clothes, can't they learn from intelligent people and give themselves some characteristics? For example, the metal chin can be sharpened, maybe in close combat Can be used as a weapon..."

He was eloquent in expressing his opinions.

Bai Chen agreed so much that she couldn't help but nodded.

As the team moved, they got closer to the wooden platform. Xu Liyan looked at the mechanical monk who was preaching, and said with a wry smile:

"To be honest, I can't tell the difference either. When he introduced himself as Chan Master Jing Nian, I took him as Chan Master Jing Nian. If he introduced himself as some other Zen master, I took him as some other Zen master. As long as he was not in the weeds City 'illness' on the line.

"Uh, Zen Master Jing Nian is the one who is lecturing now."

Long Yuehong became curious and couldn't help interjecting:

"How does the mechanical monk rely on to distinguish each other and accurately identify who the other party is?"

"Send radio signals, verify unique keys, etc., etc." Jiang Baimian tried to answer from the perspective of mechanical and electronic products.

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something:

"Did Chan Master Jing Nian say not to provoke him somewhere?"

It is widely known that mechanical monks have a weakness that they will go crazy when touched.

Some of this comes from the price paid, and some from the imperfection of consciousness uploading technology.

Xu Liyan shook his head:

"He didn't say."

"This shows that his trigger point will not appear under normal circumstances." Jiang Baimian let out a "hmm" and stopped exploring.

While speaking, they continued to follow the team and moved towards the wooden platform.

At this time, many people had already got the steamed buns, squatting or standing on the ground around them and began to eat the porridge, which made Shang Jianyao look envious.

None of them left, because the only requirement for the order of monks to distribute food was to complete the lecture.

This time you eat porridge and take the steamed buns and leave. It’s okay, no one will stop you, but next time you will be blacklisted and you will get nothing.

Mechanical monks can scan faces and store large amounts of data.

After chatting for a while, Xu Liyan glanced at the sky and said with a smile:

"Recently, my housekeeper collected a batch of animals hunted in the wilderness. Are you interested in coming to the barbecue party at night?"

Shang Jian Yao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Then he earnestly suggested:

"Some ingredients are not suitable for roasting."

Jiang Baimian smiled as if thinking:

"Master Xu, aren't you afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings in the 'Original City'?"

Xu Liyan laughed:

"Based on what happened last time, I reorganized the City Lord's Mansion and changed many people. The 'Original City' can only know the news I want them to know."

"Then we'd better obey orders than be respectful." Jiang Baimian let go of his left hand that was grasping the back of Shang Jianyao's clothes.

Shang was very happy to see Yao, but the question he asked was irrelevant:

"How is the 'false' priest now?"

Xu Liyan's expression darkened:

"It's dealt with.

"I originally wanted to recruit him, but his ability is too dangerous. I'm afraid I will become his puppet at some point."

This point also applies to Zhang Qubing, but he has no way to deal with it.

"Well, be careful when sailing for ten thousand years." Jiang Baimian expressed his understanding.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also felt that this was the best solution, but Shang Jianyao was vaguely disappointed.

Xu Liyan was about to say something more, when Shang Jianyao showed a smile:

"It's our turn!"

Xu Liyan turned sideways in a daze, and found himself in front of those iron pots.

The pure recitation of the scriptures on the wooden platform, and the human servants distributing the food all cast their eyes on him at the same time.

They all knew City Lord Xu.

Those servants were even lent by Xu Liyan to Chan Master Jing Nian for help.

Obviously, they were quite surprised that City Master Xu was queuing up here.

Xu Liyan's face turned red, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a nearby hole and bury himself in it.

A servant numbly handed out a bowl and gave two steamed buns. Xu Liyan took it numbly, watching the other servant scoop a spoonful of porridge into his bowl.

Not to mention, there are quite a lot.

……

The next afternoon, outside Weed City.

A modified Army Green Jeep races through the wilderness.

The person in charge of driving is Gnava, with blue eyes, wearing a military uniform, and a shiny metal frame. He has already rushed here from the Red Stone Collection and charged the high-performance batteries with energy.

For this reason, Jiang Baimian asked Bai Chen to make up a lot of Ao Lei for Aunt Nan.

Shang Jianyao is the co-driver, and Jiang Baimian, the reserved Long Yuehong and Bai Chen are in the back row from left to right.

They all leaned against the back of the chair, looking lazy.

"What's the matter with you?" Gnava was a little puzzled.

While his slightly synthetic baritone voice reverberated, Shang Jianyao hiccupped to represent satisfaction.

"The barbecue party last night was very good." He spoke highly of Xu Liyan's hospitality, with a "brother" affectionate appearance.

Jiang Baimian laughed and said:

"He also asked us to bring some raw meat and seasonings, but they can't be kept for too long, so we have to get rid of them in two days."

Gnawa quite understands human's love of food, and asked instead:

"Then go directly to the original city?"

Jiang Baimian responded:

"Yes, go directly to the original city!"

Chapter 24 最初城

More than a week later, the army green Jeep was driving on a piece of scorched land.

Collapsed houses and creepy deformed plants can be seen everywhere here, only occasionally grotesque beasts and relic hunters using various means of transportation pass by.

"This area was the most severely damaged place when the old world was destroyed." Bai Chen, who was in the passenger seat, looked out the window and said a few words with emotion, "But it was near this area that humans built the first building in the new calendar." City."

In the "Pangeon Biology" textbook, it was only mentioned that the original city was the first city built by human beings relying on the ruins of the old world, and it did not say that its adjacent area was the most severely damaged place, which made Long Yuehong hear Somewhat engrossed, he said to himself:

"They should have suffered a lot and paid a lot..."

But not broken.

"Well, no matter what the 'Original City' looks like now, they were able to persevere from the apocalypse and rebuild human civilization, which deserves our appreciation." Jiang Baimian, who was driving, echoed.

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao directly clapped his hands.

"What's there to applaud?" Jiang Baimian was a little annoyed.

Shang Jianyao replied truthfully:

"What you just said reminds me of the teacher in school."

"Are you allowed to applaud in class?" Jiang Baimian replied angrily.

Shang Jian Yao glanced at her side face:

"In addition to classes, there are also court meetings."

He looked like "have you never been to school?"

Jiang Baimian ground his teeth and cast his gaze forward.

As the jeep drove fast, a river so wide that Long Yuehong was amazed appeared in front of them.

red river.

The longest and widest river above the dust.

Its water waves don't look so clean, with green floating algae and all kinds of garbage floating on it from time to time.

On the other side of it, there are many low-rise buildings, and chimneys stand tall, spraying gray or rusty yellow gas upwards.

This made the whole sky look foggy, and even before evening, the light was rather dim.

There was a loud noise, and two dark-black helicopters flew past in mid-air.

A little further away, drones circled back and forth, patrolling the territory.

Seeing this, Long Yuehong held her breath.

This means that they have reached Primal City, the capital of "Primal City".

After leaving Wild Grass City, the "Old Tune Group" spent most of their time walking through the wilderness, except that they went to a wilderness settlement to supplement food on the way.

Although the "Primary City" claims to be the largest force on the gray soil, and the population is also the largest, it can actually control only large and small settlements, places that can be called cities, areas around them that can be cultivated or have mineral resources, and main traffic.

For the wilderness, forests, swamps, and ruins, the "First City" is beyond reach. Therefore, the "Old Tune Team" has only encountered many teams of relic hunters along the way, and has never encountered the regular army of the "First City".

Now, they are finally going to formally contact the biggest force on this gray soil.

In the jeep, apart from Shang Jianyao's undisguised excitement, Jiang Baimian and others also showed a certain degree of anticipation. Even Gnava, an intelligent robot, followed the program to analyze As a result, make yourself look more excited.

After driving downstream along the Red River for a while, the chimneys in the forest gradually became rare, and tall buildings made of steel and concrete rose from the ground.

There are a large number of ordinary buildings between them, which together form a real city.

Even compared to the ruins of Swamp No. 1, it is not much inferior.

"How many people can live here?" Long Yuehong asked with emotion.

"It is said that there are tens of millions of people." Bai Chen couldn't give an accurate number, because the statistics department of "First City" couldn't figure it out.

Moreover, there are many hunters and caravans coming and going here, and the floating population can be called the dustiest.

While talking, the "Old Tune Group" saw a bridge.

It can accommodate eight cars in parallel, and connects the wasteland on the north bank of the Red River, the mountains, and the original city on the south bank.

At both ends of the bridge, a fully armed regular army was stationed, each with hundreds of people.

They wore dark gray helmets and uniforms of the same color, drove multiple machine guns, and used several dark green armored vehicles to form a simple fortification at the bridgehead, leaving only a gap for two ordinary vehicles to drive.

Every car and everyone must stop when they pass through the gap and undergo a fairly strict inspection.

According to the information provided by the company before the team set off, Jiang Baimian knew that light weapons could be brought into the city, but all heavy weapons would be confiscated, as would other contraband.

Unfortunately, military exoskeleton devices are military controlled items.

Of course, the "Old Tune Team" could also choose to take a detour and go to the south bank of the Red River from other places, but at first the entrance to the city was also stationed by troops, and there were various aircraft in the sky to monitor this area.
