Chapter 94 Obsidian Communication

"Dukas is here? That's good for building relationships." Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao who got back into the car, and heaved a sigh of relief.

With acquaintances, everything is easy to handle.

Although Dukas, a muscular man, does not seem to be so easy to talk to and is not very humane, but he has business ideas on his side.

If the situation is inappropriate and it is inconvenient to use the "reasoning clown", then provoke Dukas and make another arm-wrestling gamble.

Thinking of this, Jiang Baimian didn't look for an opportunity to turn the vehicle around, and continued to follow the vehicle in front, slowly moving towards the checkpoint.

Seeing that the armored vehicle blocking the road was close at hand, the soldiers in charge of inspection surrounded him, and Jiang Baimian gave Shang Jianyao a wink.

Shang Jianyao immediately pressed down on the car window, poked his head out, and waved to Dukas who was supervising the checkpoint with a smile on his face.

He is now wearing a black wig without any other disguise, so Dukas may not be able to recognize him.

Dukas saw the familiar figure waving vigorously, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head to the side, trying to pretend he didn't notice it.

Seeing how Yao could do what he wanted, Shang waved his hand and shouted:

"Dukas!

"Dukas!"

Do we know each other well?The blood vessels on Dukas' forehead twitched, and his body became a little stiff.

He hesitated whether to follow the trend or pretend not to hear.

On the other side, the soldiers who were trying to check the two vehicles of the "Old Transfer Team" heard the other party calling out the officer's name, and they didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

When the scene became weird, Shang Jianyao pushed the door of the car very vigorously, and walked straight to Dukas.

The soldiers turned their bodies sideways, turned their eyes to the officer, and waited for his order.

Dukas opened his mouth, and finally said nothing, but his expression was not so good-looking.

Shang Jianyao easily walked past the soldiers, crossed the checkpoint, and came to the armored command vehicle that Dukas was sitting on.

"Long time no see." He completely ignored Dukas' face and greeted him with a sunny smile.

Dukas took a breath, and then slowly exhaled:

"Not long."

Jiang Baimian, who watched the interaction between the two of them from a distance, wanted to laugh.

Introverted, silent, and cold-hearted people really have troubles when they meet Shang Jianyao.

If the strength is strong, it's okay to beat Shang Jianyao. The most fearful thing is that the two sides are on the same level, or weaker than Shang Jianyao.

"Who are you looking for?" Shang Jianyao asked the question familiarly.

Dukas glanced at him and restored his original coldness:

"you do not need to know."

Shang Jian Yao raised his hand and touched his chin, imitating Jiang Baimian's tone:

"I've already inquired just now. What I'm looking for is the accomplice of the murderer in the previous assassination in the arena, and the person who caused the bombing of the citizens' assembly."

Dukas was noncommittal.

Shang Jianyao continued:

"I heard that the murderer of the assassination in the arena is a follower of the 'Twisted Shadow', and his followers are widely distributed in the army."

Dukas raised his eyelids abruptly, and saw a slight smile on Shang Jianyao's face.

"There are followers of 'Shadow of Distortion' in the army of 'Original City', and there are quite a few? The assassination in the arena has deepened the suspicion of some people in the Senate towards certain factions of the military. You must prove your innocence." ?" Shang Jian Yao smiled and asked two questions.

Dukas did not answer, but instead asked:

"Are you going out of town?"

Seeing that Yao exaggeratedly showed an expression of "I understand", he laughed and said:

"We accepted the task of going to the mountains on the north bank to catch the white wolf.

"You should be very clear. When you enter the wasteland, you have to find some protection for yourself. We have some heavy weapons, which are not convenient for inspection."

He spoke clearly, as if we were good friends.

Jia Di, who was not far away, was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect that his brother had such a wide circle of friends.

Dukas gave Shang Jianyao a sideways glance:

"You actually blew yourself up, aren't you afraid that I'll detain you directly?"

"At this distance..." Shang Jianyao deliberately cast his gaze on the blank area between the two sides.

The distance between the two is less than one meter.

"What do you want to say?" Dukas never took the easy way out.

Shang Jian Yao smiled:

"I mean, at this distance, if I yell loudly, many people around can hear me."

"What are you shouting for? Help?" Dukas sneered.

Shang Jian Yao chuckled:

"Shouting 'Dukas lost to a woman by arm wrestling'."

"..." Dukas was speechless for a moment.

Shang Jian Yao further "threats":

"I still have a loudspeaker and a small speaker. Do you want to spread this matter throughout the original city?"

Dukas exhaled heavily:

"Are you underage?

"Will I let you go because of this threat?"

"Then we can wrestle one more time. If you lose, you have to let us out of the city." Seeing that Yao didn't answer Dukas's question at all, Shang thought for a while, and put forward a new suggestion.

Dukas thought about it, and his face suddenly turned livid.

He found that he was not sure of winning now!

As soon as he thought of the terrifying strange power, he felt that it was beyond the reach of human beings.

"You can also choose to compare with me." Shang Jianyao stimulated the other party with a teasing tone.

Dukas was silent for a few seconds, and said to himself:

"For a team like yours, it's better to go out of the city now than stay in the city.

"However, you still have to check. I will come in person, don't worry, I won't open your boxes, just to see if there are fugitives with you."

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao applauded to congratulate.

This made Dukas regret for a moment, and he didn't want to admit what he said just now.

Shang Jian Yao immediately changed the topic:

"Is the guy you're looking for brown-haired, green-eyed, always covering his mouth with a scarf?"

Dukas nodded without denying it.

It's no secret that after the Citizens Rally bombing, sheriffs are looking everywhere for this man.

"Maybe the scarf is just a deliberate feature." Shang Jianyao raised his hand again and touched his chin, "Even if there are obvious marks around the mouth, there are other ways to cover it up."

Dukas didn't respond, just showing a thoughtful expression.

Shang Jian Yao laughed again and said:

"last question.

"What exactly do those guys want to do, what purpose do they want to achieve?"

Dukas was silent for a while and said:

"The man who was caught was from the Eastern Legion and was a retired military officer. He wanted to assassinate all members of the conservative faction and promote a new round of expansion."

The head of the Eastern Legion is the leader of the reform faction, the newly promoted veteran, General Gaius.

"That's it..." Shang Jianyao always kept his promise, and didn't ask if he didn't ask.

He returned to the car with Dukas, and accompanied him to open the doors and trunk, checking every possible hiding place.

——Awakened people can shield their own consciousness, so that their peers cannot sense it, unless the two parties have contact.

When confirming whether there was a problem with the box containing the military exoskeleton device, Dukas kept his promise, did not open the lid, but just pulled out a thin saber, inserted it into the cracks of the crate, and stabbed the inside a few times , stirred for a while.

Seeing that there was no touch of hitting the human body, and no blood flowed out, Dukas put away his saber and said to the soldiers:

"The two cars are fine."

The soldiers immediately opened the gate and let the "Old Tune Group" drive out of the bridge with five people.

During this process, Shang Jianyao pressed the window of the car, turned around and waved to Dukas to express his gratitude.

Dukas was not in a mood of comfort at all.

This guy's performance made everyone around him think that he was covering up for selfishness!

With a livid face, he turned around and walked back to the armored command vehicle.

In the original jeep of the "Old Tuning Team", Jiang Baimian laughed and said:

"Dukas didn't get violent on the spot and beat you up, which shows that his ability to control his temper is pretty good."

Jiang Baimian was actually prepared just now for Dukas to suddenly turn his face, and he had to force his way through the checkpoint.

"I thought we had established a friendship." Shang Jian Yao looked "surprised".

Jiang Baimian did not continue this topic, but said with a thoughtful expression:

"The assassin in the arena once served in the Eastern Legion, the water in the 'First City' is really getting muddy.

"Hehe, it may be framed, or it may be that the sect of the 'Twisted Shadow' is colluding in private and trying to go alone. Anyway, I don't believe that Gaius, who finally caught the conservatives, will make people do similar things at this time.

"Well, also, the assassin's accomplice was the one who carried out the bombing of the citizens' meeting, which was called by Gaius..."

"Maybe Gaius's mind is not normal." Shang Jianyao gave an explanation.

While the two were talking, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Gnawa in the car behind kept quiet.

For Long Yuehong, when you get along with a real companion, you don't need to deliberately find a topic, you have to chat a few words to avoid embarrassing atmosphere, you can enjoy the peace to your heart's content without worrying about anything.

He subconsciously looked out the window and glanced in the northeast direction.

There is the ruins of Wasteland 13 there.

After Gnava's repeated monitoring and measurements from different locations, the "Old Tuning Team" finally determined that the "Tao and Electrical Maintenance" radio station was really located in the ruins, and the location has not changed.

This made Long Yuehong feel more like a ghost story.

Fortunately, we are going to the mountains this time... Long Yuehong didn't dare to say this emotion, lest the good ones will not work and the bad ones will not work.

Chapter 95 Forward Camp

The mountains on the north bank of the Red River Wasteland have a vast territory, and there are many kinds of abnormal creatures and military bases and research centers in the old world. There are always some valuable things to be found.

Because many roads here have been destroyed and cannot be repaired, and the environment is very complicated, it is difficult for the army of the "First City" to enter on a large scale, so they can only explore in small groups, so it has become a paradise for relic hunters.

I don’t know how many people come and go here every year, trying to survive, several places in the mountains naturally form forward camps of different sizes, providing food, water, weapons, ammunition, bandages, fuel, batteries, etc. for the relic hunters who are trying to go deep into the mountains necessity.

At the same time, these advance camps also provide a relatively safe rest space for the returning relic hunters, so that their common diseases and minor injuries can be treated in time.

As long as you can provide enough supplies, even if you are seriously injured, there will be a helicopter to take you back to the original city and receive emergency treatment - the resources in this regard are said to be related to the military.

The camp that the "Old Tune Team" arrived at was the one that went deep into the mountains, and many places in front of it could not be driven by vehicles and could only be walked.

Jiang Baimian glanced over and took the general appearance of the camp into his eyes:

It was built on the back of an ancient castle in the old world. The outside is a circle of stone walls, and the inside is divided into a five-story main building and attached rooms scattered around.

There is a relatively spacious square here, which should have been used to train soldiers in ancient times, but now it is full of cars.

Jiang Baimian noticed that in addition to the dense green plants on the outer walls of the castle, there were also a large number of bullet holes and obvious burn marks.
